Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) has signed Danish driver Christian Lundgaard to a multi-year contract to drive the #9 PNC Bank Honda starting in the 2027 season in the IndyCar Series. Lundgaard will join recently-crowned five-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou and Kyffin Simpson as part of the driver roster for the winningest team in series history.
The 25-year-old Dane is coming off a standout 2026 campaign in which he earned victories at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course and Road America, collected his first career oval podium, and achieved a career-best third-place finish in the IndyCar championship standings with Arrow McLaren. Over 87 career IndyCar starts, Lundgaard has accumulated three victories, 16 podiums, and 21 top-five finishes.
